How is this intended to be used? —Dcn. David talk contribs 23:32, December 13, 2005 (CST)

It was intended to be a quick way to navigate from one kind of service of the church to the next. It still needs a little work, so is not in use yet. Joe

Feedback

Is there a better way to phrase "Great Blessing of Water"? Also, I think that link should go to a more general "Blessing of Water" kind of link, as there is the Great Blessing of the Waters which takes place at Theophany, and a Lesser one—I think. I don't think I know enough about these. I moved the paraklesis link next to the akathist, as they seem to go together, and the blessings of the water and the bread go together, too. Should the link to Divine Liturgy be more prominent somehow? —magda (talk) 11:46, December 14, 2005 (CST)

My husband has reminded me that the water-blessing service is called agiasmo. —magda (talk) 08:39, December 19, 2005 (CST)
The only place I've seen that term is in Greek sources. Methinks we should have a Blessing of Water article with sections on the Greater and Lesser blessings. Or perhaps simply have an article for holy water with redirects pointing to it. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs (THINK!) 08:50, December 19, 2005 (CST)

Hours

The template now links each hour: First, Third, Sixth, and Ninth. However, these all redirect to Hours. Is that expected to change, or should we consolidate the links in this template, or leave it as is? —magda (talk) 10:08, March 12, 2008 (PDT)

Magda, that is a good point, I do not like when navigation boxes, such as this, link to redirect pages, but this box is not being used anywhere at this time. Having the box show the Hours as First, Third, Sixth, and Ninth, emphasizes that they are not the same. Also, I do believe that there is adequate interesting information on each of the Hours to be its own article. - Andrew 05:59, March 13, 2008 (PDT)
